Stability...

[Tee Hee Johnson]

Hiyahh!

Yes i know this gets asked again and again and again and again... But bare with me! I know im being a pain... but i also know things change! lol

So what is good for judging stability now?

I used to fire a quick run of 1m SuperPi, to judge initial stability? But now i can do 30/60 mins Orthos even though SuperPi fails!

OCCT, it reads the core temps wrong, so i have no faith in it!

(Side note, what is best for C2D temps on a P5K?)

Actually, just noticed that Orthos is showing my CPU Speed to be 3300, when it is set at 3000!

So what is good... and a quick judge? So i can go into BIOS, change stuff, fire into Windows see how it is (5-10) mins, BIOS to increase things, Windows, etc! Then when i feel i hit a wall, id test it for a few hours!

Thanks...

Craig!

5-10 mins isn't going to tell you very much tbh.

If that's all you're prepared to wait for then a 32mb Super-Pi run would suffice. Tho a 30 min OCCT run would be much better.

So your sayin OCCT is the best? Is it known to be wrong on temp readings?

Ahh cheers!

So you suggest Orthos or Prime for a 'proper' testing session...?

Ahh... Orthos it is then! Thanks!
